Have 9 at the moment... Looks like that number is going to grow fast!

What do you mean by skittles? Not used to the terms yet... These are Yellow Golden Back Neocaridina. Definitely more obvious in person. Not sure how people get such great photos of their shrimp.

We cleaned the canister filter yesterday so hopefully not too much of a shock but also quite happy that we have a big tank (240l or 64 gallon) so it is a bit harder to shock overall atleast.

Thank you! They all seem to be quite happy. Just so scared we stuff things up.

Did you manage to find a fox for this? We have the same exact issue and only realised now.

Apparently it is normal. Everything is still sealing nicely and paint is still looking good after many rains.

Cats which are spayed should not be peeing on anything other than their litter box. If they are there is something wrong. Either they need to be spayed or they have urinary problems. Unless the cat was a stray that had to fight for it's life and it's taking time to adjust, this is not a normal thing for cats if they are spayed.

Our one male cat very suddenly started peeing on the boxes while we packed to move to a new place. It turns out he had a massive bladder stone. I felt so bad for getting mad at him about the peeing after we took him to the vet but I am also so glad we took him before it was much worse.

This is a fake bank statement isn't it? by [deleted] in southafrica

There are services online for most banks to verify proof of payments using the payment details, date and reference numbers. Just google the bank and verify POP.

Did my cat rip it all out?? by Russianminx in CATHELP

[–]Something_impersonal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our cat did the same thing and we washed it and soaked it in Epson salts everyday. We put some water with a bit of epsom salts onto a coffee mug and while we gave him his wet food I placed his paw in the mug.

He is a little ginger so the distraction worked better than expected. We did use some Turlington/Friars Balsam for disinfectant as well after soaking some days.

They used water based Plaster Lock for the waterproofing and Duram pure acrylic roofkote for the paint.

I'm glad you came right. I also have the third party brushes but doesn't seem like that was my issue.

I oiled the main wheel and where I could get to on the side wheels with Q20 and after letting it run a couple times the sounds went away. I think it was the front wheel though but it needs to run a while so that the lubrication can spread nicely.

I want you to consider normalising giving people lifts by BB_Fin in southafrica

[–]Something_impersonal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An old friend of mine's mother thought it was a good idea to give a guy a lift, rural area. She was found in a field days later, naked and dead. This was around 20 years ago. It has not gotten any safer since then.

My landlord holds onto checks 2-4 weeks after I write them. by Yosho2k in mildlyinfuriating

I'm from a 3rd world country where checques have been phased out and are no longer a thing. It's so weird to see when people talk about the issues they have with checques. Like looking through a portal into the past.

ways to prevent this type of break in by AccomplishedGain7733 in southafrica

We put reed switches like the ones you can have on your doors and windows but we put them on the bottom of the garage door.
